We invite applications from University of Michigan undergraduates in good academic standing to apply for funds to participate in a field or research opportunity related to anthropological archaeology. Priority will be given to Anthropology majors/minors who have not previously received Museum of Anthropological Archaeology awards or scholarships. Applications are accepted now through March 8, 2019, with decisions being announced by April 10, 2019.

The application process requires:

an online application

a project description and budget

ONE faculty member or GSI to fill out and submit the recommendation form

an unofficial copy of your UM transcript

Your application materials as Word or PDF documents should be submitted to the Undergraduate Awards Coordinator at ummaa-undergrad-awards@umich.edu by March 8, 2019.

Complete instructions, forms and link to the online application are available here.
